Bridges Out of Poverty Workshop Friday * August 28 * 8:00 a.m.– 4:00 p.m. Century Center The Bridges Out of Poverty workshop on August 28th is a critical first step to getting all sectors to come together. But this workshop is also more than that. It is also an opportunity to join in a growing effort across St. Joseph County, across Indiana and across the nation with new strategies to address and eliminate poverty. Since 2004, more than 600 community members have attended past workshops and many organizations, employers, educational institutions, and members of a faith community have found the Bridges workshop to be an important professional development and training opportunity for their staff, boards and volunteers.
